Retail Solution Demonstrations

  • Apparel & Footwear Inventory Management: In this solution, RFID tags are used as the apparel item labels, storing key product information for each garment. With a single scan using Seuic handheld RFID terminal AUTOID UTouch 2/UTouch 2-S, retailers can simultaneously read all tagged garments within the coverage area, instantly capturing item-level data without line-of-sight requirements.
  • Long-Range Barcode Reading for Large Warehouses: Designed for large-scale warehouse environments, this solution enables long-range, high-speed barcode reading using CRUISE 2, AUTOID 10, and AUTOID Q7-(Grip). With a maximum reading distance of up to 30 meters, operators can scan barcodes on high shelves directly from the ground, eliminating the need to climb racks or use lifting equipment.
  • Retail Batch & Expiry Tracking: For food and FMCG retail, this solution leverages AI + OCR technology on the CRUISE2 5G to easily recognize production dates and batch numbers printed on product packaging. By capturing this information directly from the packaging surface, retailers can efficiently manage batch tracking and expiry control, reducing waste, improving food safety, and minimizing manual inspection errors.
